Hello,

Question:

Keisha solved the following equation:

4x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

Which step has an incorrect justification? (Make sure to type only the number of the step into the blank: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)

Correct Solution:

x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

4x + −2x + 8 = (6) (x) + (6) (4) (Distribute)

4x + −2x + 8 = 6x + 24

(4x + −2x) + (8) = 6x + 24 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x + 8 − 6x = 6x + 24 − 6x

−4x + 8 = 24

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−4x + 8 − 8 = 24 − 8

−4x = 16

-4 x -4 = 16

x = -4

Answer:

Where keisha went wrong was forgeting to subtract 6x to both sides.

Incorrrect step is #3

The solution to the equation is correct.

on the line - 4x + 8 = 24 to the next line

- 4x = 16

4 should be Subtraction property of equality and not addition property of equality

Please show work 3d – 4 + d = 8d – (-12)
balandron [24]

Answer:

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3d – 4 + d = 8d – (-12)

3d - 4 + d = 8d + 12

4d - 4 = 8d + 12

(4d - 4d) - 4 = (8d - 4d) + 12

-4 = 4d + 12

-4 - 12 = 4d (+ 12 - 12)

-16 = 4d

-16/4 = 4d/4

d = -4

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Circular one

Step-by-step explanation:

It really depends on how you cut it, but circles are just one big edge that's curved to meet up with itself.

Also, corners aren't edges and rectangles have corners.

Go with the circle one
